Larry
Nelson - AWA commentator - extracts from his biography
Many of the
matches in the Tom Zenk Collection #1 and 2 - (AWA 1984-5) were taped in
Winnipeg for AWA's Canadian TV show. This show aired weekly on TSN
but was taped once a month in Winnipeg. What happened at night in the local
hotel is the subject of much of AWA commentator Larry Nelson's recent book
Stranglehold. In these extracts Nelson writes about 'carney', Eric Bischoff
and a typical night out in Winnipeg - "the best party stop on the AWA circuit."
